Activating Your Family Archives

We activate the tangible objects in our archives when we tell their story. From telling the history behind a single photo or heirloom to juxtaposing generational recurrences in nonlinear formats, this workshop will demonstrate how we can create new meaning in our family stories by engaging deeply with the things we and our ancestors have saved. Participants may bring family heirlooms, but can also work with digital photos, memories, or objects in the room.
